The formula
A silicone face primer that smooths and mattifies the skin, controlling shine and gripping makeup for a longer, fresher wear. A lightweight, oil-absorbing base fills the look of pores and fine lines, blurring the surface to a soft, even canvas so foundation glides on smoother and sits truer through the day.
The clear, weightless gel smooths on invisibly under any foundation, on every skin tone.
Finish: matte · Clear
Paraben-free. Cruelty-free. Made in North America.
